Bug you should be a counselor, you know how to speak the words i can hear.

For the benefit of the spooks, in case theyre following along, hello spooks,

H wasnt being cheap after all; we left my van at his place and he drove. I didnt get the benefit of having driving to focus on, but i did get the benefit of no criticism and no valet parking cost or gas.

The people there were nice and warmly welcomed and thanked me for being at the reception. H sat with me and s13 for part of the time and hung out at the bar with his brother the rest. We hardly spoke, not in an unfriendly way. In the car we rode in silence.

There was a good friend of h's brother who came over to MIL to introduce herself and exclaim repeatedly how she was an old friend of bil but had only just met h today. I was fascinated by mil... She introduced the woman to those around her, except me. I suspect she doesnt know the words to explain who i am now. It was uncomfortable for me. Since i was invisible i slipped away to the buffet to end the suspense of whether and how i was going to be explained. If i cared i would have jumped in with a handshake and introduced myself.

I got home at 6pm and slept for two hours. I'm just wiped out. Tomorrow is a new day.
